Improper grounding is a major safety hazard that can lead to electrical shocks, appliance damage, and increased fire risk. In Eugene, this often stems from aging systems or previous non-professional work. We fix it by installing or upgrading your grounding electrode system, which typically involves driving new ground rods, ensuring proper bonding to your water pipe, and connecting all necessary components with the correct gauge wire.
